Version D0.42 Update 4 released!


​A bit of a behind the scenes updates this time around. One of the biggest issues I had to deal was the caching system. While it worked quite well, there were times where the engine would just free up resources at the worst time. That would result in a crash, or the map being unloaded. An excessively big headache if you ask me. So, I decided to throw the current caching system out and replace it with a vastly better version. This time, it's dynamic. It builds up knowledge as you keep playing. While there are a few teething issues (Crystal Cave flickers a bit when you use the fireplaces), but I am working on smoothing it out.

In addition, I've also rolled up some fixes for high refresh rates. While the game handled these well enough, there were areas where it was "render at max speed, who cares that it needs timing?". This update should improve the update logic proper.

  • Overhauled the caching system.

    • Caching is now fully dynamic. As you keep playing the game, it will start building the cache.

    • It should now stop the engine from unloading resources too early (sometimes resulting in the map being unloaded).

    • [Windows] The option to reset the cache is added to the Starboard’s Utilities menu.

  • Improvements for users with high refresh rates.

    • Certain animations should now play at the proper speed.

    • Improved the utilization of the CPU in higher refresh rates.

  • [Windows] Improvements to memory usage on the launcher.

  • Rolled up dependency updates for better stability and performance.

Next up

Implementing Armor Corrosion. This put quite a dent in the target's armor for a short time.

Time for a bit of shenanigans: RPG Maker MV running on top of Tauri! This more future proofed framework means better performace and smaller file sizes. It does require some re-work in the engine, but it could lead to true cross-platform games.

A small teaser for the next update.

Welcome back to Esmarna XP!!!! There are new things about this game I would like to talk about! I'm officially BACK to making this game! (more info in the article)

It's pretty early, but here's a look at a mob manager, handling the enemies in the game. The code streamlines the programming of the enemies. Hopefully, I can expand it to more useful ways.

So the NookComp is fully working right now with: Critterpedia, NookMail, Catalog and Bell Bank.

Also Postal system with the Mailbox and Post Office is also working and is hooked up into NookMail on the computer!

This is just a video to show you guys :)

Waz zis? An overhauled map? Yes. Coming soon.

A bit of an old but goodie coming back: Quick Load! In an upcoming update, you can jump back to where you left off with a push of a button.

just testing out my Caterpillar System in rpg maker 2k

This took me kinda long to make using only events ngl

A small teaser for the next tech test.
